Your argument essentially boils down to "it's legal so it's okay" which ignores that all manner of horribly unethical things remain legal because it suits corporations. 

Using gaming to push gambling on little kids is still legal in much of the world but is a horrid practise, as is all manner of deliberating screwing the consumer to squeeze out more profit for shareholders.

Are there any M-rated games at all that you enjoy or are looking forward to? Would you be okay with them being completely banned because some beaurucrat or activist decides they're immoral?

Something can indeed be both legal and unethical, but that's not the case here. I don't really care what marketplaces decide to sell, they're running their businesses in whatever way they think best suits their strategies

There are bookstores dedicated to selling Christian books, and those stores may avoid LGBT content. There are restaurants focused on vegan food, and they don't serve animal-based products. There are TV channels and streaming services aimed at families, kids, and teenagers, and they avoid R-rated content

As long as no one is banning the game from being produced or sold, there's no real problem to fix here

Banning them from being sold entirely is the next step in this process and what we are headed for, it is the endgame of the people who behind this push.
